The Park at the Center of the World
Five Visions for Governors Island Exhibition Opening

The Park at the Center of the World: Five Visions for Governors Island features five landscape architecture and architecture teams selected to present their compelling design visions for the future open spaces on Governors Island, the 172 acre Island off the tip of Manhattan. Governors Island's open space will include the two mile Great Promenade that provides outstanding views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor, a new park, and restoration of the landscape in the Island's National Historic District.
These five teams have won critical acclaim for their designs, parks and buildings around the world.
